The annual UCD ESRI Energy Policy Research Conference will take place on Thursday 24th September.

This year the event will be a half-day event and will take place online. We look forward to a series of interesting presentations from researchers in both ESRI and UCD Energy Institute. 

There has been strong research collaboration between UCD Energy Institute and the ESRI in recent years, in particular through the SFI funded ESIPP research partnership. This event showcases a range of research from across both organisations related to energy policy.

We would be delighted if you could join us for this online event.
